- Abstract
-
"The King, dead drunk and much dishevelled, is carried to bed by three fat and tipsy peeresses, wearing coronets; the foremost, who supports his legs, probably Lady Conyngham (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13847), says: "I'm as great as the Queen." The other two, one flourishing a candle, the other a full glass, sing: "We'll drown her in the bowl the bowl" [cf. British Museum Satires No. 12181]. Behind them is a table with decanters and a melon; a bottle is in the King's chair; broken bottles lie on the floor. On the right is the bed; in a chamber-pot are papers: 'The Queens Affair' and 'State Papers'."--British Museum online catalogue
